[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 130719, member: 456"] A few days ago someone asked if the aluminium steering heads were still available. I have now heard back from the manufacturer and there is at least one available. This is of the later type, FT1/4 and is fitted with taper roller head race bearings. It will come with an aluminium cylinder head bracket which is much thicker than the original batch of these which were too thin. The price of the finished steering head and cylinder head bracket combined is £800. If you want it fitted with one of the aluminium JE steering heads then that would be an extra £340. If you want me to get your lower link machined to take two ball races each side to replace the Oilite bushes then that is an extra £100 and that includes assembly and adjustment of the clearances between the ball races in the lower link and the new steering heads. You can communicate with me either publicly on this forum, privately via a Personal Message on this forum or by email to me on [EMAIL]enw07@btinternet.com[/EMAIL]. [/QUOTE]
